Question

I need to write shell script to create a new file and insert some stuffs into it. The problem is, using sed ‘i/blablabla’ command, it only works when there is at least one line existed in the file. What is the command to insert into a new file?

Thanks

Answer 1

echo 'new line' >file_name

Also, you can append to the end without using sed using the >> operator:

echo 'additional line' >>file_name
